Paikea / Humpback Whale

My iwi traces back to Paikea, so this whale is pretty special to me.
I love humpbacks, they are just so sublime. The pose of this colossal creature of the deep looks so relaxed as it ambles along the water. Aquatic Beastie series were inspired by the movie 'Oceans' They have been carefully rendered using various hues of super-subtle blues, teals, aqua, greys and black.
